Vintage is the new cool!

ok, so there is this awesome vintage clothing place on queen west called "69", right across from my gallery (which i will talk about in my next blog, cuz this was just a tad more important) and the vintage clothes r like, perfect....the chick who owns the place seams and fixes things and nothing smells old either.

More to the point, i was looking at furs they have (because there's nothing wrong with wearing fur that has already been made for someone else, and i'm not creating more of a demand or market for it, so why not just wear something that is already out there!) and i saw this amazing, large houndstooth print, tweet coat, in deep red and grey for only $125....so i try it on and it fits like a freakin glove!

i fall in love.

then, "kealan" as she is named, tells me that she has this fur stole (shoulder piece)that is fabulous except for the fact that the lining is coming undone in 4 places, which only needs to be hand sewn to fix. she said she would have done it and charged 90 bucks for it, but said if i wanted it, i could have it for 10 since i was buying the coat.

so i took em both! i luv vintage!

im seriously considering changing my blog name to "Confessions of Xtina the Shopaholic". seriously.
